A beautiful house with swimming pool in East-Pattaya 4 sale

[Attila]

If I wouldn't build a bigger house already, I would buy this one. Many nice pictures here:

I linked over but didn't see a price. How much and how big is it?

[Attila]

The website is updated:

Despite including a swimming pool the price is only 3.3 million baht.

The size of the land is 68 talangwah (= 272 m2). The house is just 2 years old, it was finished in 2003.

Some other houses in that village are for sale too, but without swimming pool and with less land (just 1 m to the neighbor, the usual Thai chicken cage style) for about 2.8 - 2.9 millions.

It says with granite floors.

I can see pictures of ordinary ceramic floors and marble floors, so where are those granite floors?

Sorry, I couldn't tell the difference between marble and granite, but I got told it is granite. This would be in the living / dining room, kitchen, the 2 bedrooms, and the entrance outside.

Ceramic floors are in the bathrooms, the laundry / maids room, and the room above the laundry / maids room in the small second house.

Leads to a good question, how do you see the difference between granite and marble. I know granite is harder, but how do you see it?

Attila,
Remeber my countertops in my kitchen? Those are granite--more speckled. Marble is.........well..........marbled. Usually has threads of color running through the main color.

Marble has veins of color running thru it and can be faked on wood using ordinary oil paints, granite is speckled and cannot be faked using oil paints, not that this is done in Thailand as they both are so cheap.

The Limey

ps; marble stains very easily where as granite doesn't.

I start to get the idea. So in the picture below, from the house, this is marble

Hi Attila,

Yes, that's marble on your living room floor. I saw your bathroom vanity counters have granite though.

who ever laid the marble should be shot ! I LOVE MARBLE but thats gotta be the worst matching ive ever seen .. either that or they should of ordered bigger tiling sizings or they should have been prelaid and grains matched up .. .. also cant stand the pale green paint on the walls it reminds me of a prison or hospital .. AND NO I HAVNT BEEN IN JAIL .. but ive designed a few

the pool however is the BOMB !!
